Your year is far more busy now, though it's easy enough to grant your divine blessing on the people when they ask your aid. You selectively grant some of your cleverness and knowledge to the especially devout, and leave them to return with proper sacrifices, and once again gift a divine inspiration to a sleeping person. They wake, but seem to not have been as heavily affected by your inspiration. How rude!
The stars have especially interesting information for you this year, telling you that you must take certain action as quickly as possible, lest the seeds you've sown are washed away... You're a touch worried about what the stars imply, but they also imply you go find some men to lay with, so it's probably okay. You start with Saiga, of course, but you know that you'll have to save your strength for your other conquests, a sentiment Saiga thankfully agrees with, for now. Upon your temporary marriage bed, he tells you a little of himself, often distracting his stories of himself with stories of his explorations. You learn that for a long time now, Attrouska has seen terrible futures, so Saiga and Saitev - a raven spirit and apparent close friend of Saiga's - have been careful not to overextend themselves for many years. His stories of his exploits in recent times have been understandably dull, where he keeps a close eye on the horizon for a Dread Thing from the sea. He seems especially glad that you will be with him now, in a form of flesh though he'd traveled your waters for decades, to make his lonely vigil more exciting.
You ignore pointing out that you came from the sea, and that you've done many terrible things to the people since your awakening.
Your first mortal conquest is a fine-looking young man from Saiga's village, who you take into the bones of your new shrine to bed under cover of night. There is a feeling of purpose and power within you and you nurture it a little before you leave, bidding Saiga a temporary farewell. Your second comes from one of your own people, as you draw him towards your shrine at night, away from his wife. You nurture another purpose within you, feeling pleased that you will have children now.
You end up traveling rather far soon after, your wanderlust having gone unsated for too long, and in the time you spend away, you get a better sense for the shore for a few miles, a curiously round crescent that your good sense of distance tells you seems to center around the great pit near the sunken village. In your travels, you find a curious little creature with many tentacles, so small as to fit in your hand. In a fit of curiosity, you decide to also add it to your list of conquests! The logistics are tricky, but you eventually manage to coax it to give you another child.
Your third child, poor thing, doesn't seem to have the same kind of power the first two did, but it's okay, you like it more anyway since it can swim and live underwater with you; something you get the feeling your other children can't share with you... While you wait to bear your secret children, and your abdomen swells like the mothers on the land, you try to experiment with your newest powers, pouting when nobody seems to notice that you'd even used them! You know you made the moon glow brighter... a little... And there were more fish in your shoal, though you could never really count them anyway... Bah! At the least, your children will still be born soon, and you will figure out how to do those new things better next time.
Your first birth, though the final child you'd taken, is kept secret in your shoal. A small number of tiny eggs, maybe a dozen, free themselves from you suddenly, and you sequester them away near the bottom of your Holy Place, around the depth you'd found them at so they grow as best as they can! The second child, and first you'd taken into yourself, is born later, in your shrine. The birth is painful, more than once you snap at the old women who remain by your side to try to help you birth it, but eventually the child comes out, and his sister shortly after. There is some light bowing and praising when the women see the children for the first time; your son has strange eyes that do not match, one blue, one silver, while your daughter has only bright blue ones on her pudgy little smiling face.
And then the Long Night arrives. You still the waters as the moon peaks over the horizon at the apex of the stars' path, and, with greater care, peer deeply into the reflection...
You catch a flicker. It comes again, but it has been twice now that the strange body has been only barely seen. Seeing it fills you with desire, with terror-joy-love-anguish-a pinnacle! The reflection of your eyes shows them dilate and shift from phase to phase, and you lick your lips, feeling unnaturally dry despite your innate form. With trembling hand, you reach out for the hollow place in the sky, and cup the still water in your hands, bringing it close to your lips as you take one little sip...
Quite suddenly, everything is wrong. Already low on strength from the year's near-end, you feel a pull from the sky as you are both empowered to greater heights and drained to a low you have never felt before. Your shrines, anointed with your power, implode suddenly as you feel your domain shrivel and shrink. Your body emaciates itself, and for a split second there is only a terrible, terrible hunger before it bloats and explodes, joining your shrines as they bring daylight to the long night, and as the earth shudders near each separate ground zero, panic overtakes everyone in amounts you've never felt before, never comprehended before.
The waters of the shoal buck and heave as you try to shudder without a body, to moan in ecstasy without a mouth. You fall into a contented haze, basking in the power you've gained, and all you can think of is the color Black.

You've unlocked Avatar 4! Avatar 4 gives a bonus skill slot. Continue raising avatar, for the next special unlock at Avatar 7.
You've unlocked Demand Appeasement! Demand Appeasement consumes a decree slot and reduces your Fear score by 2 to give a large bonus modifier to your Rite income. You can increase the value of the Appeasement by reducing your Fear score by further increments of 2 (maximum 8).
You've created a burgeoning Monster race brood. Monsters have slightly expanded natural habitats compared to their base component, and the effect of aspects on their form is increased. Breed additional monsters with the same traits to increase their dissemination into the area. Within a number of years based on the monster's base birth-rate and fertility, it will stabilize and become a new local species.
You've unlocked your first Shrine Extension. You can have one additional type of extension to improve your shrines with every even Focus score, so choose your extensions wisely!

Keep a close eye on changes and apparent errors for me, I very likely missed upwards of half a dozen different things given the sheer amount of crap you guys screwed with this turn.
EDIT: Fuck me and spoilers, I need to preview more often.
